'Trade is under attack,' Macklem says. Here's what he urges Canada ...
Tiff Macklem said Canada could undertake several policy measures to tackle the headwinds from the trade war imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
globalnews.caHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
- Tiff Macklem, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, has been active in commenting on Canada’s growth prospects and trade headwinds, including remarks about how tariff tensions and a slower global backdrop could weigh on Canada’s economy in 2025 and beyond.[2][4]
- In late 2024 and 2025, Macklem emphasized the importance of policy calibration to balance inflation and growth amid tariff pressures, with signals that the Bank would respond to evolving trade dynamics and domestic data.[4][8]
- Public appearances and senatorial or parliamentary appearances in 2025 featured Macklem addressing the implications of tariffs on Canadian growth and exports, and he participated in media briefings following speeches.[3][4]
If you’d like, I can pull specific articles or provide a concise timeline of Macklem’s public statements on tariffs and Canadian growth from 2024–2025, or focus on a particular event (e.g., Senate testimony, Calgary speech, Mississauga talk). I can also summarize his positions and how they influenced market expectations during that period.
